A basic no nonsense phone for great battery backup

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/a-basic-no-nonsense-phone-for-great-battery-backup.187101/

I have my Note 3, but these days I feel I'm torturing the phone for hours of calls.

I just need a basic dual sim phone - no preference on camera, no touchscreen (definitely), atleast 2 days of battery..

Further, good music playback and slimmer profile would be added bonus for me..

The good old Nokia phones had all these aspects...but anyhow now we dnt have them..

Anyway, please suggest me some phones to look at..

Already mentioned req as 'no touchscreen' bro..

check out nokia 220-i think it will be adequate for your needs.

the good new nokias still have awesome battery life

my 720 gives 1.5 days usually
about your query nokia 100 series is supposedly good not sure though

Another phone worth considering is samsung e2252-it also gives pretty decent battery backup and has all the essential features such as dual sim support,bluetooth,gprs etc which makes it a compelling choice as an entry level phone.

Unless the software on the Samsung starts to **** up after a while. Stay with Nokia, that'd be my kind request.

Last year I had X2-02 and it was awesome and surprisingly it has FM transmitter too, but I lost it..I tried searching for it again in internet to buy, but they say its discontinued; too sad

Anyway..as per your suggestions I checked out Nokia 220 in the store, it is good; but 225 seems much better..didn't checkout Samsung yet...
